Agriculture's top stories this week include the latest on crop conditions, livestock markets and several important USDA updates for farmers and ranchers. This week's headlines include the phased reopening of Mexican cattle imports, new opportunities for U.S. pork exports to Japan, and the latest recommendations for scouting western bean cutworm. We also cover important USDA program deadlines, declining fertilizer prices, and how changing consumer demand is creating new opportunities for dairy producers. This week's interviews were recorded at Corteva's Media Day, where Ag News Daily Team Members Delaney and Josie heard Dr. Dave Bubeck, global breeding alliances lead, to reflect on 100 years of Pioneer and how breeding innovation continues to shape modern agriculture. They also spoke with Trent Brisby, agronomy innovation marketing manager, about practical strategies for protecting yield throughout the growing season.

Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith comments on efforts to approve a new farm bill and opening the border to Mexican cattle. The Meat Institute's Julie Anna Potts praises the USDA's efforts to support the industry and protect the herd. USGBC's Ryan LeGrand sees a potential shift in global grain supply. 

The July 31, 2026, episode of the Closing Market Report features host Todd Gleason speaking with market analyst Mike Zuzolo and meteorologist Eric Snodgrass. Zuzolo outlines how current geopolitical tensions, including tariffs, sanctions, and expanding global conflicts, are driving market volatility and influencing asset rotation out of equities and into commodities, despite high bond yields. He also notes poor crop conditions in Europe and suggests upcoming USDA reports could lower U.S. corn yield expectations, though demand remains a critical unknown. Snodgrass provides a weather update, noting that intense heat has severely stressed crops in the Western Corn Belt—causing potentially significant yield losses—while the eastern regions remain in better condition. Looking ahead, Snodgrass anticipates a moderation in U.S. temperatures for August but warns that an impending, historic El Niño could disrupt South American planting seasons and complicate the upcoming U.S. fall harvest. ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 30, 2026, episode of the Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural commodity markets, industry news, consumer trends, and regional weather forecasts. Market analyst Matt Bennett discusses the recent downturn in soybean and corn futures, attributing the market's sell-off to anticipated weekend rainfall across the dry Corn Belt. The agricultural news segment briefly highlights upcoming Farm Bill markup negotiations, updated USDA wetland determinations, and an expected increase in farmland supply entering the fall sales season. Next, CoBank livestock economist Abby Groves explains the rapid expansion of the $4.4 billion meat snack industry, noting that the 45% category growth is largely driven by consumers seeking convenient, high-protein options and the rising use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications. Concluding the broadcast, meteorologist Mike Tannura reviews the exceptionally warm and dry conditions of the past 15 days that have negatively impacted crop ratings, while forecasting a strong incoming weather system expected to bring one to three inches of stabilizing rain across the Midwest.01:22 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:38 WILLAg News Update10:15 Meat Snacks: Market Growth, GLP-1s, & Innovation17:28 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

Pioneer Day is one of Utah's biggest celebrations, but how much of the Mormon pioneer story is history? And how much is mythology? Frank and Dan take a fresh look at the conflict that drove the Mormons west, why the word "persecution" doesn't tell the whole story, and how the familiar handcart-and-heroism narrative leaves out a lot of the truth. Also this week: preparations begin for the 2,000th anniversary of Jesus' baptism, two Catholic nuns launch an order dedicated to helping survivors of church abuse, the USDA faces a lawsuit over explicitly Christian government emails, a new poll reveals what Jewish Americans think about Israel and Gaza, West Virginia stands firm on school vaccine requirements despite pressure for religious exemptions, and a prominent Black Baptist leader argues that not voting is a sin.

The July 29, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report examines agricultural market volatility, variable crop conditions, and regional weather impacts. Analyst Greg Johnson attributes recent market shifts to uncertainties surrounding Chinese soybean purchases, U.S. tariffs and a highly variable U.S. corn crop. A review of the USDA crop progress report indicates advanced development in the upper Midwest, while the Crop Protection Network currently assesses a low risk for tar spot disease across the region. Josh Linville warns of a fall phosphate fertilizer shortage, why farmers might forego applications, and what happens if demand surges unexpectedly.

Three Wisconsin counties have been the first to detect tar spot in corn fields. Pam Jahnke gets the latest update from Dr. Damon Smith, UW-Extension Plant Pathologist. Smith says the plant symptoms we're seeing today started with injury and infection weeks ago. Smith says the current hot and dry weather in Wisconsin has successfully lowered the risk of major crop diseases, providing a "saving grace" after a wet, mild June that initially raised concerns about disease potential. Current infections resulted from favorable conditions three to four weeks ago. Smith says disease pressure will likely increase if rainfall returns, creating a "race" to mature the corn crop before the disease compromises it. He says advancements in hybrid genetics are providing "partial resistance," which helps by creating smaller spots and slowing down secondary infection cycles, allowing the crop more time to reach maturity. Smith is also keeping an eye on the potential for white mold in Wisconsin soybeans. He says, again, the risk for white mold has dropped significantly due to the hot, dry weather. He does not though that irrigated fields continue to face a different risk profile and should still be monitored carefully. We get a break from some of the heat today according to Stu Muck. That will give folks in the Fox Valley a chance to clean up after a tornado rumbled through Menasha. Rainfall reporters said they received anywhere from 1.5" of rain to literally nothing in the whirlwind weather activity that crossed the state. Did you ever wonder if that farm equipment you bought a decade ago is worth what you paid? Ashly Huhn from the Steffest Group did a little research. He looked at 3 pieces of popular farm equipment and found out that the equipment's maintenance matters. Huhn says if equipment has been maintained and cared for, many sellers recoup almost 80% of their investment in some cases. Paid for by Steffes Group. Troy Runge has assumed a new leadership role on the UW-Madison campus as the interim dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Dean and Director Glenda Gillaspy announced that she will move into a new role serving as the university’s director of the Wisconsin Rural Partnerships Institute. Hello Mexican cattle! USDA has announced it will allow Mexican cattle back into the United States despite ongoing concerns over New World Screwworm. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says this sent the cattle market into a tailspin. He notes that this sell off has been building. He also says rain that moved across Nebraska overnight has taken a lot of the weather premium out of the grain trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US and the World It is a critical time of the year in grain markets. In many years mid to late July is a time where the market has already decided where this crop is going. 2026 might be a different year. Widespread hot and droughty weather in Western Europe as well as the threat of the same in North America is sending nervousness throughout the grain complex. On top of this we have all the same geopolitical problems in Ukraine and Russia as well as Iran adding to the uncertainty. This is the backdrop as we head into August. On July 10th the USDA released their latest WASDE report. The July USDA WASDE report estimated corn production to come in at 16 billion bushels up from 15.995 billion bushels in June. This was based on a yield which remained at 183 bushels per acre with planted acreage at 95.3 million acres. This remains the second largest corn crop on record if it comes to fruition. New crop ending stocks were lowered 125 million bushels down to 2.02 billion bushels. Corn usage in the United States was increased 50 million bushels from June putting it at 16.255 billion bushels. USDA is predicting the largest soybean crop In U.S. history. The estimate is 4.475 billion bushels with the trendline yield estimate of 53 bushels per acre planted on 85.4 million acres. US new crop ending stocks are set to come in at 310 million bushels with old crop stocks coming in at 330 million bushels. USDA left Brazil’s production unchanged at 180 MMT and Argentina at 50 MMT. Total US wheat production is set at 1.536 billion bushels which is down slightly from last month and the smallest wheat crop on record. On July 24th corn, soybeans and wheat were higher than the last Market Trends report. September 2026 corn futures were at $4.64 a bushel. Dec 2026 corn was at $4.87 bu. The November 2026 soybean futures was at $12.53 bu. The Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $6.78 a bushel. The Minneapolis Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $7.14 a bushel with the September 2027 contract closing at $7.46 a bushel. The nearby oil futures as of July 24th, 2026, closed at $89.31/barrel much higher vs the nearby futures recorded in the last Market Trends report of $68.78/barrel. The average price for US ethanol in the US was $2.19/gallon, higher vs the $2.17/gallon recorded in the last Market Trends Report. The Canadian dollar noon rate on July 24th, 2026, was .7096 US, marginally higher vs the .7042 US reported here in the last Market Trends report. The Bank of Canada’s lending rate remained at 2.25%. Ontario In Ontario generally speaking crops are doing excellent. However, as always there are regional variations with extreme drought in some areas of the deep southwest and south-central Ontario. Eastern Ontario has had much better moisture conditions than they did a year ago. As of the 24th of July, rainfall is needed in many areas of the southwest as corn is roping up and soybeans in some cases are wilting. However, there is still a long way of the growing season to go, and rains would cure much of this. As it is, with normal rainfall Ontario should be looking at good crops this fall. Wheat harvest continues across the province with good to excellent yields and quite good quality. Very dry conditions in the deepest part of southwestern Ontario made for a good harvest. However, other areas were not as lucky, and it was more challenging to get wheat dried down in the field. However, it continues in eastern and north central Ontario. So far there are very few quality issues. Basis levels for grains have stayed relatively steady since the last Market Trends report. This is partly due to the relative parity in the value of the Canadian dollar versus what it was three weeks ago at .7042 US. As always, a low Canadian dollar is the stimulus for the Ontario grain cash market. Corn basis levels have been a little stronger and as we go into August that may continue. Old crop corn basis levels are $1.65 to $2.38 over the September 2026 corn futures on July 24th across the province. New crop corn basis levels were $1.65 to $1.94 over Dec 2026 futures. The old crop basis levels for soybeans range from $4.34 to $4.70 over the November 2026 futures. New crop soybeans range from $3.89 to $4.15 over the November 2026 futures. Ontario SRW wheat prices are in flux during harvest by as of July 24th are approximately $8.25. For July 2027 new crop the bid is in the $8.91/bu. range. On July 24th the US replacement price for corn was $7.16/bushel. You can access all these Ontario grain prices in the marketing section at https://gfo.ca/daily-commodity-report/ The Bottom Line Things are all coming together to move markets higher. We have a confluence of issues that are unusual to come together at one time. What we have is the hot and dry heat dome and drought into Western Europe with the possibility of that also manifesting itself in North America. At the same time, we have the Iran US war which is pressuring the oil market which in turn is dragging grains up with it. All of this happening at the same time is unusual for this time of year. Keep in mind where we are seasonally with grain markets. The last week in July is usually one when grain markets put in a top and drop into the fall time. That happens about 85% of the time but this year might be different. We might be into a contra seasonal where the crop is getting smaller, as do ending stocks and the price usually goes higher into the fall. The timing this year seems critical. So, what does this mean? You can make the argument that we have time here to decide which type of market we are in and if you believe prices are going up because forces are coming together to do that, market your grain appropriately and hedge both the downside and upside. That means different things to different farmers and that’s OK, just recognize this current grain environment is incredibly volatile based on the grain fundamentals and our geopolitical concerns. As always, this time of year, weather is such a big concern. Keep in mind, the super El Nino is still out there and affecting crop development worldwide. In a El Nino year Brazil is supposed to be dry. Between Brazil and Argentina, they produced twice as many soybeans as the United States and if El Nino manifests itself in a big way, there could be some real price fireworks. Commodity Specific Comments Corn The drought in Europe has had an effect on the corn market. The Europeans produce about 2.3 billion bushels of corn and import about 800 million every year. This means that they will probably be importing more corn this year which has obvious implications for Ontario corn exports. Keep in mind that these drought concerns whether they be in Europe or the United States are pushing up the price of corn, but it also is reacting to the price of oil. The ongoing tension in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz will continue to have an effect on the price of corn. The September 2026 corn contract is currently priced at 22.5 cents lower than the December 2026 contract a bearish indication of old crop corn demand. Seasonally, we know that corn prices tend to peak in early June and bottom out in early October. The December 2026 corn futures contract is at the 19th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Soybeans Soybeans are at contract highs as of July 24th. Of course, this is good news with anybody marketing soybeans but keep in mind these contracts can run very fast with high daily limits. Post those standing market orders optimistically, as they could be hit very quickly. Soybean prices have also been supported by Chinese buying. Yes, they have finally come into the market, and it has been timely for price as US beans are very competitive against South American soybeans. There is a September meeting between President Trump and President Xi, and this may result in even more buying. The August 2026 soybean contract is currently priced 7.75 cents above the September contract considered bullish for old crop soybean demand. Seasonally, soybean prices tend to peak in early July and bottom out in early October. The November 2026 soybean contract is currently at the 37th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Wheat The spectre of drought and heat in Europe has had an effect on the wheat market. Keep in mind that all countries in Europe makes it the largest wheat exporter in the world. Combine this with the problems of compromised grain movement in the sea of Azov amid the ongoing war and you have lots of uncertainty. Combine this with the ongoing super El Nino and there could be production problems in other places such as Australia. In Ontario the wheat crop has been relatively good news with good yields and quality. Quality is always a problem with wheat but for whatever reason this year including the good management of Ontario wheat producers that is not much of a concern. What has been good has been a cash price rally in wheat at harvest time which has pushed prices up over $2.00 a bushel higher than a year ago. The Bottom Line (cont.) The Canadian dollar continues to flutter around the $0.71 level US which is helping Ontario grain prices. It is always a constant with regard to cash prices and can act as a buffer but in a grain environment where futures are rising significantly it can also act as a supercharger to cash prices. This is the environment that we are in now. If grain futures prices get spooked by heat domes and geopolitical concerns further, it will have an accelerating effect on Ontario cash grain values. The Canadian dollar is a thinly traded currency, but it has recently been affected by the aggressive nature of the American administration. President Trump has announced 50% tariffs on an assortment of Canadian goods going into the United States starting possibly on August the 19th. Canadians were gobsmacked by this move and so was the government. Serious trade negotiations are about to commence. Regardless of why it happened this is the type of geopolitical concern that really affects the value of the Canadian dollar. Farmers need to be concerned and watchful over the next several weeks to see where the Canadian dollar goes. With all of this going on it is important to not be crossways with the trend, and the trend is up for prices. However, in this environment volatility is usually running wild. That yet may happen especially depending on a heat dome moving in as well as geopolitical concerns in Iran and Ukraine and Russia. This is all happening without a Black Swan event, but yet again a Black Swan can always happen and with that, we always have to be ready. Keep in mind that August is always the month that determines soybean yield historically. Also keep in mind, that soybeans are the great liars but at the end of the day always tell the truth. So, they will need rain, just like we need in stretches across southern Ontario. The challenge for Ontario farmers is to hone their marketing plans in this growing bullish grain environment. Have those standing market orders ready and if they hit, set some more even more optimistically. At the same time risk management never grows old. Hedging our risks is always a good thing. At the end of the day, there will be many marketing opportunities. Daily market intelligence will remain key.

The housing market is not crashing. It is negotiating.Agents who only focus on price are leaving valuable concessions on the table. Seller concessions appeared in 46% of May home sales, the highest May percentage on record. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain how agents can negotiate closing cost credits, seller-paid repairs, mortgage rate buydowns, flexible possession terms, rent-backs, contingencies, and other forms of value. A basic price reduction may only modestly change the buyer's monthly payment. A better concession strategy may reduce the buyer's cash to close, lower the monthly payment, resolve inspection concerns, or solve an important timing problem for the seller. You'll learn why agents must evaluate the entire transaction, how financing rules affect allowable concessions, how conventional, FHA, USDA, VA, and investment-property limits differ, and why the buyer's real priority should determine the offer strategy. You'll also learn how listing agents can prepare sellers for secondary negotiations and how buyer agents can use possession terms to strengthen an offer. Knowledge creates confidence. Agents who understand these strategies can demonstrate greater value, write stronger offers, protect listings, and build more sustainable careers through professional coaching, eXp Realty, and Libertas.

Corn and Soybean crops continue to mature faster than the average pace. Crop condition fell from last week for both crops. U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell has been released from the hospital but is still in rehabilitation and not yet able to return to Washington. USDA data suggests a slight expansion in the cattle herd.

What value does a farmers market have for a community? Is it just about the transactions, or is there more? A study funded by a USDA grant and involving UW-Madison researchers focused on that question. Kiley Allan finds out about the results from Bret Shaw, UW-Madison Communications Specialist. Shaw says the researchers conducted a national study to provide market operators with actionable data to boost attendance, increase consumer spending, and better communicate the community value of farmers markets to stakeholders. The research identified six consumer categories, highlighting the three groups most likely to visit: the "highly engaged" (who love the social atmosphere and local experience), the "health-focused" (who prioritize organic, local, and non-GMO produce), and the "emerging interest" group. The newly identified "emerging interest" demographic consists of younger shoppers who are less focused on buying raw ingredients to cook at home and more interested in the social environment and ready-to-eat prepared foods. To accommodate changing consumer preferences, markets are increasingly featuring vendors that sell prepared foods and specialized items (such as hot breads, baked goods, and meats) rather than strictly traditional raw fruits and vegetables. With over 8,600 markets operating nationwide, farmers markets are increasingly recognized by community leaders as vital hubs that promote healthier eating habits, foster a sense of local belonging, and build resilient regional food systems. What are the 'dog days' all about? That's the starter conversation with Stu Muck on a Monday morning. The forecast isn't offering much moisture this week to offset all the heat expected. Stu explains the cycle the states caught in. In June the White House announced that John Rich, or Big N Rich country duo fame, became a USDA envoy working with farmers and landowners nationwide. Rich says he was personally caught in a land dispute with the state of Tennessee, so he understands the disadvantage farmers face when someone wants their land. He'll report directly to USDA's Brooke Rollins and the President. He explains what he's heard so far. Last week the WI State Fair Park announced that John Yingling would be retiring after 16 years of service, most recently as board chair. Pam Jahnke visits with the fair veteran who started his relationship with the fair when he was a kid in the neighborhood. Yingling says he never liked going to the fair with his mother. He explains how that didn't stop him from making the WI State Fair, a big part of his life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

P.M. Edition for July 24. Today an FDA committee voted to increase access to six of seven peptides. Those are substances that haven't undergone regulatory approval, but they're promoted on social media and promise physical transformations like better skin. We hear from WSJ health and wellness reporter Alex Janin about what the vote means and whether it paves the way for a peptide gold rush. Plus, new tariffs went into effect today intended to combat forced labor, and President Trump also threatened new tariffs on the European Union. Journal trade and economic policy reporter Gavin Bade discusses the future of President Trump's tariff agenda. And measles cases in the U.S. this year have already surpassed last year's number, reaching a three-decade high. Alex Ossola hosts. And for more on peptides, listen to our What's News Sunday episode.

You can't believe all the 'fine points' of harvesting hay until you talk to Tom Kilcer. As a former ag agent in New York state, Kilcer now acts a researcher in Tennessee. His book. "Hay in a Day" delivers on some of the details producers often overlook that can make a major impact on their finished hay product. Bob Bosold finds out what those details are! Another really pleasant day in Wisconsin before heat starts to build back in. Stu Muck says the smoke threat also seems to be lessening going into the weekend. Don't get too comfortable though. Stu says the heat returns next week. Whether it's heat or cold, wet or dry, our specialty crop providers face it all. The state has an abundance of potato, vegetable, cranberry and other specialty crop growers that have been maneuvering through weather challenges, as well as global market access issues. Kiley Allan visits about the terrain with Sandy Chalmers, state executive director of the WI Farm Service Agency offices through USDA. Chalmers says there's about $1.6 billion that's been set aside for those specialty growers. Now, the key is to apply by the August 7th deadline. Wow - big numbers in the June USDA Milk Production report. Big cow numbers too. Pam Jahnke visits with Katie Burgess, dairy analyst with EverAg, about the blow it brings to the dairy complex. Burgess says Wisconsin has approximately 20,000 more milk cows this June compared to 2025. Those cows are producing too. The states June production was up 1.6%.

On this episode of *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan provides an update on several of the most significant issues currently impacting agriculture, from government funding initiatives and livestock health concerns to renewable energy and the changing structure of the farming industry. Doug begins by discussing new USDA programs, including funding designed to support beef processors and strengthen the nation's agricultural infrastructure, while examining how these initiatives may affect family farmers and rural communities.The episode also explores the ongoing threat posed by the screw worm, highlighting outbreaks in Mexico, current eradication efforts, and the importance of preventing the destructive livestock pest from spreading into the United States. Doug explains why continued monitoring and coordinated response efforts remain essential to protecting animal agriculture and minimizing economic losses. Listeners will also hear about innovative land-use strategies that combine solar energy production with agriculture, including the integration of solar arrays with pastureland and forage crop production. Doug discusses how these dual-use systems can provide additional income opportunities while allowing farmland to remain productive. The conversation also examines the realities of relying on federal grants and government funding, noting that while assistance programs can provide valuable support, funding priorities and awards can change unexpectedly, creating uncertainty for agricultural businesses.The episode concludes with a discussion about increasing consolidation throughout the agricultural industry and its impact on family farmers. Doug explains how fewer companies controlling larger segments of the marketplace can influence competition, input costs, pricing, and long-term opportunities for independent producers.Key takeaways from the episode include the announcement of new USDA funding programs intended to support beef processors, the continued concern surrounding screw worm outbreaks and the importance of ongoing eradication efforts, and the growing potential for integrating solar energy with productive agricultural land. Doug also emphasizes that while federal grants can provide meaningful assistance, they are not guaranteed and can change with shifting priorities. Finally, he discusses how continued consolidation within agriculture may reduce competition, contribute to higher costs, and create additional challenges for family farmers striving to remain competitive in today's marketplace.

The future of California's raisin industry was the focus of today's  episode of the AgNet News Hour, where longtime industry leader Kalem Barserian shared his perspective on the challenges facing raisin growers and processors. Drawing on more than six decades of experience, Barserian discussed declining acreage, changing consumer preferences, and why he believes new safeguards are needed as the industry continues to evolve. Barserian, former president of the Raisin Bargaining Association (RBA), said California's raisin industry has changed dramatically over the past quarter century. He noted that raisin grape acreage has fallen from roughly 280,000 acres in 2000 to about 100,000 acres, reflecting shifting consumer demand, higher production costs, and increased global competition. "People are not eating as much dried fruit as they once did," Barserian said, adding that California has slipped from the world's leading raisin producer to fourth behind countries including Turkey and China. A major portion of the conversation centered on what Barserian referred to as "gunny sacking," the practice of drying surplus table grapes into raisins rather than growing grapes specifically for raisin production. He said the practice has become more common in both South America and California as table grape growers seek additional value from fruit that does not enter the fresh market. According to Barserian, the additional supply created through this practice is changing the dynamics of California's raisin market. He proposed changes to the Raisin Administrative Committee's inspection process that would require greater verification of grape varieties entering the raisin supply chain. Barserian argued that distinguishing raisins produced from traditional raisin varieties versus surplus table grapes would improve transparency within the marketplace. Host Nick Papagni noted that the issue represents a legitimate debate within the industry, suggesting growers, processors and marketers may hold differing views on whether the practice helps California remain competitive or places additional pressure on traditional raisin producers. The program concluded with plans to invite additional industry representatives to discuss the issue from other perspectives. Beyond production practices, Barserian also discussed changing consumer habits. He pointed to California's wine grape, peach and walnut industries as examples of commodities that have adapted through marketing and product innovation. He suggested the raisin industry may also need to rethink how it promotes raisins to younger consumers and families. While export promotion efforts continue through USDA-supported programs, Barserian noted that domestic marketing has become far more limited than in previous decades. Looking ahead, Barserian expects California's raisin industry to continue consolidating around larger, vertically integrated operations that both grow and process raisins. He also believes mechanization and overhead trellis production systems will become increasingly important as labor costs continue to rise. "The industry is going to look much different in the next five to ten years," Barserian said, predicting fewer growers and processors but continued production through more efficient operations.

Joel Hollinsworth runs Smoke River Ranch in Oklahoma, where he's built a herd-share community of about 40 families co-owning cattle together - a model that's taken his herd from 15 animals to 425 in four years. But, this could all be taken away, as he's fighting two subpoenas from the Oklahoma Department of Securities on claims his shares are unregistered financial securities. In this episode, Joel breaks down exactly how that herd-share structure works economically, and then walks through the legal fight he's currently in.He gets into why that claim doesn't hold up, who's helping him fight it (including USDA's Brooke Rollins' office and the American First Policy Institute), how they're fighting it, and what's at stake for other ranchers running similar models. Ultimately, this challenge threatens not only Joel's ranch, but the broader idea that people should be able to support and participate in local food systems without facing unnecessary regulatory burdens or government overreach. We also talk through the broader pattern of regulatory overreach in agriculture, and close with Joel's advice for young people looking to get into ranching - namely, don't try to do it alone.Key topicsHow the herd-share model works (co-ownership, calf splits, time horizons)The Oklahoma securities subpoenas and the case against themLegal support and path forward (Rollins' office, state legislation)Advice for young ranchers on doing this in communityTimestamps0:00 – Intro + catch-up2:00 – Herd-share model origins5:00 – Scaling to 425 head + genetics program13:00 – First subpoena17:30 – Second subpoena, securities claim explained21:30 – Why it's not a security26:00 – Comparisons to other ag regulatory fights31:00 – Legal support and path forward47:30 – Herd-share financials + time horizons58:30 – Advice for young ranchers + closeConnect with JoelSupport Joel's GofundmeSmoke River Ranch WebsiteHerdsharesApply for HerdsharesXLast episode

Retail Beef Prices Continue To Climb According to the latest USDA data, the retail beef price composite reached a new all-time record in June, averaging $9.35 per pound. That's up 14 cents from May and marks the highest monthly average ever recorded. Several popular cuts saw noticeable price increases, including ground chuck, stew beef, round roast, sirloin steak, and uncooked beef roasts. Round roast posted one of the biggest jumps, climbing 35 cents a pound during the month. The only major cut to see a price decline was chuck roast, which slipped 6 cents to $9.55 per pound. Despite record-high prices, consumer demand for beef has remained remarkably strong. USDA Meat Forecast For 2027 The USDA is forecasting even less beef production over the next two years as America's cattle herd remains historically tight. In its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, USDA lowered its 2026 beef production forecast by 150 million pounds and trimmed another 185 million pounds from its 2027 outlook. Officials say fewer cattle being marketed and lighter carcass weights are behind the reductions. Meanwhile, chicken production is headed in the opposite direction. USDA increased its forecast for both this year and next, saying poultry producers are expanding because of strong profit margins. Pork production was adjusted only slightly lower, while turkey production saw little change overall. Despite the shifts among species, total U.S. meat production is expected to remain nearly unchanged over the next two years.

Our body doesn't need minerals the way we think.Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, has spent years studying why our soils, food, and cells have all run dry at the same time.A US Senate document from 1936 warned about mineral depletion in American soil. Almost a century later, nothing's changed, and the studies on nutrient density in modern crops back that up.What I find fascinating is how this connects to energy itself. A fully mineralized body can generate around 1,200 watts of electricity in a day. Most of us aren't anywhere close.Caroline breaks down why pills made from rocks, shells, and bones don't absorb, how plant-based humic and fulvic substances act as nature's pre-formulated delivery system, and why concentrated single minerals can pull calcium and phosphorus out of your bones over time.She also explains the magnet-like way humic molecules bind heavy metals and carry them out of the body.Visit beamminerals.com/luke and use code LUKE20 for 20% off.Register for the live Mineral Reset Program Bookinar at mineralresetbook.com/bookinarYou'll learn:[0:00] Introduction[3:25] The 1936 congressional warning about soil depletion that we've done nothing about[11:51] 90% of rock, shell, and bone-based mineral supplements end up in the toilet[21:52] Fulvic sprayed on mosquito bites stops the itch almost instantly[26:16] Can gray hair actually reverse with mineral replenishment?[33:43] How an entire rainforest got compressed into a two-foot strata of humate[45:05] The Oligoscan reveals what's actually inside your cells, not just what you're excreting[50:01] Heavy metals bound in the humic molecule act as magnets instead of toxins[54:35] The paradox of aluminum in zeolite and lead in humic that actually detoxes you[1:00:05] How to stack MicroBoost and Electrolyze around your sauna sessions[1:03:29] Practitioners now tell chronically ill clients to start with minerals first[1:11:05] Quinton and sea plasma miss the delivery system that makes fulvic uniqueResources Mentioned:Modern Miracle Men by Rex Beach | DocumentChanges in USDA food composition data for 43 garden crops, 1950 to 1999 by Davis et al. | StudyMitolife Radio | PodcastMitolife Panacea Shilajit | WebsiteGraham Hancock | WebsiteThe Oligoscan | WebsiteLiving Silica | WebsiteZeoCharge | WebsiteMitozen Lumetol Blue Bars | WebsiteQuinton Marine Plasma | WebsiteFull show notes at lukestorey.com/minerals3Related The Life Stylist Episodes:Unlock Nature's Nutrition & Detox Codes: Fulvic + Humic Mineral Power w/ BEAM's Caroline Alan | PodcastGet Minerals In & Toxins Out to Power Your Mitochondria, Hormones, & Brain | PodcastWhy Fixing Mineral Balance w/ Hair Testing & Nano Minerals is Priority #1 feat.
